The Void From Which No Sound Escapes

(アルバム： The Work - 2021)

Away from here
No sound to hear
No sound

Away from here
Away from here
No sound to hear

All of this work
I want you to remain here
Away from here

I tear out my being (Away from here)
I feed it to my children (Away from here)

All of this work
I want you to remain here
Away from here

No escape
This void keeps gripping tighter
Should I let it stay?
It might just swallow me whole
Running away, running away
I want you to remain

I tear out my being
And feed it to my children
It keeps them sick with poison
Addicted to these noises

Not a single sound
Escapes this void, which cannot be found
Speak louder so this voice will carry
Speak now before we get too carried away

What did you expect to hear?
A voice so loud and so clear
Breathing in and out a sigh of
Sweet relief tonight

What did you expect to be?
But a cynical man, just like me
Drifting in and out of life
Like curious moonlight

When the fires fade
And the rivers dry
When you speak my name
Like a weighted sigh

Why don't you hear
The whisper in the void?
That we made real today

Not a single sound
Escapes this void, which cannot be found
Speak louder so this voice will carry
Speak now before we all get carried away

When the fires fade
And the rivers dry
When you speak my name
Just to say, "Goodbye"

I'm what you fear
A whisper in the void
With no escape, no escape

When the fires fade
And the rivers dry
When you speak my name
Like a weighted sigh

Why don't you hear
The whisper in the void?
That we made real today
